CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES
Avoidant/Restrictive Food Intake Disorder (ARFID) was introduced as a new mental health and behaviour disorder diagnosis in 2013. ARFID has a direct effect on nutritional intake, which without expert dietetic intervention can lead to nutritional deficiencies, with implications for health in the short and long term. This webinar will provide an update on the diagnostic criteria for ARFID and the role of nutrition professionals in the management of the disorder.
ARFID is characterised by a pattern of eating that avoids certain foods or food groups entirely and/or eating small amounts due to lack of interest in food, high sensitivity to sensory aspects of food (such as texture, colour, or taste), and/or fear of aversive consequences.
ARFID differs from other eating disorders as restriction of food intake is not for the specific purpose of losing weight or managing feelings about shape and size.
In this webinar, Clinical Dietetic Lead of the Feeding and Eating Disorders Team at Great Ormond Street Hospital, Clare Thornton Wood, will share how ARFID is diagnosed, the nutritional risks and why dietitians are so important in the management.
This webinar covers:
- Diagnostic criteria for ARFID
- Nutritional risks of ARFID
- Role of dietetics in multi-disciplinary teams
- Interventions a dietitian can undertake
We’ll also be joined by expert chair, Dr Rosan Meyer, who will guide and contribute to discussions during our live Q&A.
